I am not sure what you mean by expired. If it was entered in 2007, it is good through 2017 under Louisiana law.

If you were never given service of the petition then you may be able to get the judgment annulled. However, that's not something I can see a pro se litigant with no legal experience doing very easily or quickly. You may need to hire someone to get it cleared up. Another possible remedy is to call the contractor and offer some money for him to clear it up.

I never received service of process and the court clerk gave me the history of the file in the small claims system. She told me any lawyer would be able to look at the history of the file and would know how to vacate it, but she couldn't give me further legal advice as an employee of the court.

She mentioned 3 years in our conversation but couldn't say more as it would be legal advice.

I think I'll just spend a few hundred dollars on a lawyer to get it resolved.
